Americans' Economic Outlook Deteriorates Amid Growing Partisan Divide

Most Americans view the U.S. economy negatively, with a widening partisan gap: 44% of Republicans rate it positively, up from April, while only 10% of Democrats do, with overall sentiment largely unchanged. Concerns focus on rising prices, inflation, and personal expenses, and future economic outlooks are increasingly pessimistic, especially among Democrats. Views on Trump’s economic policies are divided along party lines, with many attributing economic decline to his administration. Overall, Americans remain highly concerned about inflation, housing, and food costs.
